Ok, for those who wanted an answer to my post about drink cups in a garden....well this morning I saw someone out in the garden that was using them. so I walked down to chat. Had a little communication problem but found my answer. And as some of us suspected he was using them to shade the plant from the hot sun. Didn't however find out if he punched holes in the cups to let the heat out since they stayed on for a couple of weeks. May use his method on some of my new plants next week since they are predicting frost around N. Ga. Growing up we used to make little tents from newspaper or catalog pages, weight them down on the corners with dirt so they wouldn't blow away.

Mystery solved. Gardens are excellent places for cross-pollination, of plants and cultures.

When I put a small, tender plant in my garden,I break a small branch with leaves and stick it in the ground to shade the plant for a few days,then I put the branch on the compost pile-easy!!!

I aslo used the drink cups tonight to cover my tender okra plants and other tender plants that just broke the ground. I poked several holes around the sides then weighed them down with small rocks i had picked out of the garden
